The Death of Alan Chandler
THE DEATH OF ALAN CHANDLER Lilly Chandler is serene; little ruffles the waters of her life, whereas her husband, Alan, suffers recurring anxiety attacks. Drawn together in college they tacitly agreed to ask few questions of the others past. As Alan once wondered, was the waters of Lilly's soul so deep he could not measure it, or was his lead line simply coiling up in shallow but murky waters? After a late night domestic fight, during which Lilly launched most of their best china at Alan, he takes off for their cabin at Red Lake. In the early morning hours he careens off the road in an attempt to save an errant deer's life. His car is submerged and he is swept away. Lilly Chandler awakes with...

The Production of Heritage
In this important book, the authors unpack the theoretical and practical issues around the development of heritage sites, critically dissecting key conservation benchmarks such as the ICOMOS guidelines, BS 7913 and the RIBA Conservation Plan of Work to reveal the mechanics of heritage guidance, its advantages and conceptual limitations. Underpinned by an active understanding of the conservation philosophy of William Morris, the book presents five case studies from the UK and North and South America that speak about different facets of heritage value, such as urban identity, commodification, authenticity, materiality and heritage as an intellectual and ethical framework. Heritage is never neu...
Unsung Hollywood Musicals of the Golden Era
The most memorable Hollywood musicals of 1930s showcased the talents of stars like Fred Astaire, Jeanette MacDonald, Bing Crosby and Alice Faye. The less memorable ones didn't. This book takes a look at the unsung songfests of the '30s--secondary or forgotten features with short-lived or unlikely stars from major studios and Poverty Row. Through analysis of films such as Lord Byron of Broadway (1930), Shoot the Works (1934), Bottoms Up (1934), Moonlight and Pretzels (1933) and The Music Goes 'Round (1936), the author profiles such performers as Dorothy Dell, Lee Dixon, Peggy Fears, Lawrence Gray, Joe Morrison and the mother-daughter team of Myrt and Marge. Behind-the-scenes figures are discussed, like the infamously profligate producer Lou Brock, whose flops Down to Their Last Yacht (1934) and Top of the Town (1937) cost him his career. Filmographies and production information are included, with background on key participants.
Flexible Forming for Fluid Architecture
This book on flexible formwork for fluid architecture is a multi-faceted research that covers a broad field: from design to material and technology, and from history to future developments. It offers a pragmatic approach that can be extended with more cases, materials, techniques and methods for fluid architecture, and provides a better understanding of the main aspects of fluid architecture and to help them find the most suitable combinations of all aspects. The book is a challenging experience with many new discoveries, including two patents: one on moulding of fluid surfaces and one on 3D printing of fibre–reinforced ice. It also features two world records: the larges span (30 meters) and the highest thin shell structure (30,5 meters) in ice as well as a method for the construction of a fully laminated shell structure in insulated glass.
The Republic
Has the House of Windsor finally come to an end? Neil Phillips' novel creates a web of uncertainty over the continued existence of the Royal household. The Queen suddenly abdicates in favour of her grandson, but the government of the day believes the time has come to end a thousand years of monarchist rule. The Prime Minister, a staunch Republican, is summoned to Buckingham Palace, but just as he is delivering a short press conference outside No. 10 Downing Street he is assassinated. The single shot that ends his life begins a struggle between the Royalists and the Republicans. Alan Chandler, an MI5 officer, is tasked with discovering who has killed who, why, and with whose authority. Was it the Royalists within the Government or the House of Windsor trying to maintain its iron grip on the wealth of the nation?
The Jeffries Affair
For years they were best friends. For decades they chose to remain estranged. Now Bryan Jeffries has contacted Matt DiGrande to get reacquainted. The idea excites Matt, but it also sends up showers of red flags. They agreed to keep the past in the past, so what could Jeffries possibly want? And why did he make contact now? This multifaceted story encompasses the lives of these two businessmen and several other disparate individuals whose direction in life is forever altered by a strange business report full of smoking guns. Their investigation of the report releases a convoluted string of activities that includes blackmail, abduction and murder, all made possible by a deadly skeleton that has been begging for decades to come out of its closet.
Material Matters
Bringing together texts and work by theorists and practitioners who are making material central to their work, this book reflects the diverse areas of inquiry which are expanding current material discourse. Focusing on the cultural, political, economic, technological and intellectual forces which shape material practices in architecture, the contributors draw on disciplines ranging from philosophy, history and pedagogy to art practice and digital and low-tech fabrication. By paying critical attention to material, a wide range of issues emerge which are otherwise excluded from architectural discourse, issues that shape and determine the buildings we make, the processes we use and the ways we understand them. Beautifully illustrated and designed, this book is a unique collection which will be of great interest to architectural practitioners and theorists who want to consider the wider implications of material practice, and to students who are developing their own approach to making buildings.
